    Wouldn't hurt to give Chad a call with your wiring questions. He might tell you that wire connectors in automotive applications should be crimped, not soldered - including those big cable lugs. The solder stiffens the wire which can cause it to eventually break due to fatigue caused by vibrations. There's also a chance of the connections becoming desoldered if there's ever a high load on the wiring.

      [By the way, doing wiring is just like solving a challenging puzzle. Very satisfying.]
      Wiring is an art. I'm old-school electronics, I design and build vacuum tube amps, all 'point-to-point' wiring (no circuit boards) and it can either be a chore, or be nirvana, state of mind and having the right tools and materials is essential. I noted Matt using the term "looming", which is interesting, as it predates my years, even my being decades older than Matt. "Bundling" and "harnessing" are the more popular terms, but Googling "cable harnessing" produces many excellent hits, including the term "looming".
      In an environment where there's a lot of harsh movement, like in the Bombi, 'strapping' the harness (Using cable ties made specifically for the job) to the adjacent surface minimizes the chance of strain pulling lugs apart, or the bundle getting chaffed on sharp edges.

    When soldering those terminals onto the large wires, the second one you did is a cold solder joint and will be brittle. The wire is cold and the solder is hot, but the wire will not be hot enough to pull the solder into the wire so it’s just connected on the exterior. That one is likely to break eventually. When soldering like that, all components must be heated.

    Your de-clawed hammer gave me a chuckle.
    My brother & I were working ion a refrigeration installation in a bar one day. Trying to put in cable staples in a really tight area, I was hitting the staple with the hammer turned sideways. Busted off a claw. A few minutes later I busted off the other claw. It was a steel shank Craftsman hammer. I said, “Dan, we better stop at Sears on the way home and buy a new hammer.”
    My brother said, “Buy? Nah. Craftsman tools have a lifetime guarantee. They’ll give us one.”
    We were twins, but my brother was way more assertive than I.
    We went into the tool department, picked up a new hammer and went to the register to exchange the broken one. The cashier called the department manager over to approve the exchange. He looked at it, noticed the battle scars on the sides and said, I’m not going to give a new hammer! You’ve been beating it on the sides, not the business end!”
    Dan came right back with “Show me in the catalog where it says “You must not hit the hammer on the sides.”
    The manager said, “OK this time, but don’t come here again!” Dan said, “Fine. There’s only about 15 more Sears stores around Philadelphia. You gonna put out an APB on us?” Then we left. We were about 17 years old, in the late 1950s. I miss Sears…

    I was thinking that the heater hoses should have been run into pipes along the length of the body, then use hoses only at the very ends. It'd add a little weight and maybe some fittings, but when it's time to service the hoses, it wouldn't be necessary to take the body apart to do so. The pipes could also be fitted with a flushing port and/or drainage tee for future maintenance.

    Hey Matt.
    I have had a very similar problem with friction welding differential spider gears together. I used to do a fair bit of off road competitions and our rigs run a 3rd diff in the transfer case, this allows us to unlock it, pull up the handbrake and spin the front wheels. Works amazingly to make tight turns, you can almost make a full within the length of the vehicle if you do it correctly.
    Long story short, I have tried everything I can think of to force lubrication into between the cross shafts and the planetary gears. Eventually I spoke to our oil supplier at the office and he recommended I try RAVENOL RHP (75w-90) In fact he was so confident in the product he sponsored it to me to try. Years down the line and I have not broken another 3rd diff!!!
    Yes I suppose you also need to be aware and not let one wheel spin with the engine on the limiter while the other is stationary, or in my case do doughnuts continuously. I stop after a few seconds to allow the oil the penetrate the gears and go again.
    I don't know if Ravenol is very common is the US, but may be worth seeing if there is an equal grade oil.
    Great show, you guys are the Highlight of my Mondays!

    In this situation with open diff (@3:45 where one side is stopped), the other in fact spins _twice_ the rpm than both would rotate.
